AuditLog setting on ESXI

Hi All,

I am trying to have ESXI auditrecord sent to a remote servier (KIWI) and having issues and i need your help. 

i run the command 

esxcli system syslog config set --loghost='tcp://KIWI-IP:514' 

When i check, i see

Audit record storage Directory: /scratch/ausitLog

Log level error

directoty invalid.

All i need to do is have the auditrecord sent to Kiwi. I have always directed syslog from device to kiwi by pointing it to the kiwi IP on port 514

Any help will be appreciated.

 

Thank you all
